Attracting and retaining a skilled and motivated workforce is essential to our organization. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, invest in the skill development of our people, and promote life-long learning opportunities.

As we have expanded globally, we have learned it is best to have local people manage our operations. At the end of 2006, out of 67,100 employees working in our global operations, UPS had just 83 U.S. expatriates. This practice enables us to integrate our operations seamlessly into any culture or economy, while ensuring that we are sensitive to the cultural needs of the local workforce.

The spirit of teamwork all UPS employees share is a key ingredient of our success. This cooperative spirit allows us to proactively address many of the worldwide challenges addressed in this section, including continuing focus on safety and ensuring equal opportunity for and fair treatment of all employees.
